Mutiny on the Amistad: The Saga of a Slave Revolt and its Impact on American Abolition, Law, and Diplomacy

Description

“Mutiny on the Amistad” presents the first full-scale treatment of the only instance in history where Africans, seized by slave dealers, won their freedom and returned home. Jones describes how, in 1839, fifty-three of the captives led by Joseph Cinque revolted in the Caribbean aboard the Spanish slave ship, the “Amistad.” The seizure of the ship, the arrest of the Africans, and the Spanish protest against the violation of their property rights created an international controversy.
